Not all of ’em. Once did the Black then Red then back up to the top of Spooky and down the “secret” trails. That was a hard day out especially coming down the steeper off piste stuff hanging out of my arse on a full on XC bike with the seat up!

A couple of weeks ago I cycled the red and the black. A friend joked (?) I should do the blue as well to do it all. Took this as a challenge, so today I cycled the full length of every official route in the place – black, red, skills, greens, blue, freeride (only 1 route in freeride). Estimated 74k of riding, with est 1600m accent total. Took 9 hours including generous breaks. Felt good doing it, but feeling it now! Anyone else done this? Am I now ‘leet? 🙂

I’m always suprised people don’t ride more when they go. I’m a bit of an xc whippet but given it takes me two hours to get there, a simple black/red loop combo doesn’t justify the journey.

I was training for endurance races with the route above. So it was nice to get the height and distance. I covered much more ground and height on the GT7.

I like GT because it has so many trails. No where else really offers you the chance for easy fun miles like it. No navigation, good ground conditions, fun downhills – makes for an enjoyable day out where you can focus on your riding and not worry about much else.
